1100E front brake help

[Mad Mark]

so i put new brakes on the back of my bike and im trying to do the front now. i loosened the two 14mm caliper bolts to remove it but the bolts were backing out with the entire caliper and pulling it off with the bolts? so my question is, is the caliper threaded where the two 14mm bolts go through? or do i have to remove it from where it mounts to the fork?

thanks.

Remove the two 14 mm fork bolts and the entire calper will come off in one peice. The other 2 bolts are the sliders that hold the two caliper halves together.

I am not in front of my bike so I cant really remember how it looks or how the pads change out right now. lol

i should have said thats what i was going off of. i did that and the whole caliper was getting pulled off. the bolts wernt just coming out. and those front brakes are slightly different than the 1100s.
